Title
How Quantum Computing Will Redefine The Cybersecurity Landscape
Description
The field of quantum computing is complex and may pose risks to many existing technologies. One of the most prominent risks quantum computers pose is their potential to dismantle or completely bypass current cybersecurity systems. The importance of cybersecurity in today’s world cannot be overstated, as every organization has sensitive data that it wishes to protect. The idea of security protocols being rendered completely ineffective is enough for corporations and governments alike to have a vested interest in the ongoing development of quantum technology. Some organizations are trying to get ahead of the curve by looking into quantum cybersecurity, attempting to develop new security protocols that will be able to resist these quantum cyberattacks. Though the idea of someone being able to completely ignore current cybersecurity protocols is frightening, it is at present entirely theoretical. Quantum computing devices are still incredibly early in development, and are nowhere near able to complete some of the tasks that developers of this technology claim will revolutionize computing as a whole. They are also extremely unreliable at present, often producing a different result every time the same calculation is run. Quantum computing technology still has a long way to go before it poses any real threat, but the technology is still worth understanding.
